Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3382

Gerald was relatively strong. However, he tried to avoid touching other parts of Hera's body, making it quite difficult to carry her. By the time they reached the third floor, he was out of breath.

Luca, however, seemed to handle it better than he did.

“Ms. Craw, aren't you tired?” Gerald could not help but ask as he set Hera down on the bed, panting.

Luca glanced at him and replied, “I'm not tired because I'm not worried about touching other parts of her.”

Gerald, whose hands were on his hips, was out of breath and muttered, “This is the first time I've realized how exhausting it is to carry a woman upstairs.”

After positioning Hera properly, Luca took her pulse and frowned. “Did she mention feeling unwell earlier?”

“Yeah, but wasn't she pretending? She was crying, throwing a fit, and making a scene downstairs. It was quite the performance,” Gerald recalled, chuckling at the memory of Hera trying to cling to Luke and failing.

Luca switched to her other hand to take Hera's pulse and then said, “She has some inflammation.”

“Inflammation? Where?” Gerald asked with curiosity.

Luca glanced at Luke and Gerald but did not answer directly. “I need to do a more thorough examination. You two should wait outside.”

“Alright.” Luke, who had been silent, could tell from her expression what the problem was. He turned and left the room.

Gerald was still curious. “So, where exactly is the inflammation?”

“Just go outside. You can't stay for the examination.” Luca furrowed her brows.

Gerald had no choice but to leave the room.

After the door closed, Luca pulled a fresh pair of medical gloves from her pocket. She had kept them with her since treating the volunteer, always prepared to help with medical treatment if needed.

After putting the gloves on, she unbuttoned Hera's clothes.

As she removed the clothing, the bruises all over Hera's body became clear. The marks showed how cruelly she had been treated by Abel.

Luca heaved a sigh, looking at the unconscious woman. “Why put yourself through all of this?”

Hera, in her condition, could have found a good boyfriend. They could just work hard together, enter marriage, and live a simpler life. What would be so wrong with that?

Instead, Hera let her body be mistreated like this for the sake of money. Luca could not help but feel sympathy.

She conducted a thorough examination of Hera.

Even though she did not have the assistance of any medical equipment, she learned many things from working with Shanks. After finishing the examination, she helped Hera put her clothes back on before standing up.

Luca exited the room.

“How is she?” Gerald quickly asked when he saw her.

“She's not in any danger; she just got a shock and fainted,” replied Luca.

Gerald let out a sigh of relief. “As long as she's not in danger.”

Luca continued, “Although there's no immediate danger, her condition isn't great. She was feeling unwell earlier because of a low fever caused by internal inflammation. She just needs some anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medication, and she'll be fine.”

Gerald thought it was no big deal.

Luca did not respond. She made her way downstairs.

Luke and Gerald followed her.

“Why is she inflamed?” asked Luke.

Luca replied, “Intercourse.”

Gerald's eyes widened in confusion. “What does that mean?”

“She overdid it, and her body couldn't handle it, so she got inflamed.” Luca did not explain too much and did not care if the men understood. She walked to the second floor and directly entered the lab.

She said to Shanks, “Abel’s companion has an inflammation, and I'd like to get some medication.”

“Okay.” Shanks did not care much about Hera's condition.
